Nasarawa Assembly decries poor state of general hospital

The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly adopted a draft resolution calling for an end to the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba. The vote resulted in 130 members in favor, 17 against, and 25 abstentions. This marks the 34th time the non-binding resolution has been adopted since 1992, despite continued rejection from the United States.

During the proceedings, SABC News reported tense scenes involving a verbal clash between the Cuban delegation and the US envoy. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez accused Washington of an absurd policy that blockades essential life-sustaining resources. South Africa supported the vote and has called for the resumption of stalled talks between Cuba and the United States to address humanitarian conditions on the island.
